Complete clean-up of Azbox firmware, settings and plugins

This procedure will allow you to completely clean your Azbox HD. All configuration, plugins and firmware will be lost.
So use it with caution and follow it carefully.
When do you need to use this procedure?
- If you feel that your Azbox no longer works properly and behave totally at random.
- Problems with plugins that can no longer read your card.
- If you have a bug that nobody else experience or can reproduce.
Pre-requisite:
DO NOT SKIP THIS PART.
- Download the latest firmware with Firefox from HERE
- Check the MD5 signature
- Rename the file to patch.bin and nothing else (so azbox-0.9.4890-patch.bin is not a valid name it should be
renamed to patch.bin, so suppress "azbox-0.9.4890-").
- Format an USB key to FAT file system
- Copy the file patch.bin to the newly formatted USB key
- Power off your Azbox
- Connect the USB key
- Restart your Azbox
- In the upgrade screen select 1 - upgrade USB (the firmware you copy on the USB should be detected and installed).
- This process should end normally during the countdown remove the USB key.
- You Azbox will restart with the firmware you select.
Clean-up
- Please DO NOT SKIP PRE-REQUISITE!!!
- Enable Telnet server on your Azbox (11. Setup - Network Services - Telnet server : Enabled).
- Connect to your Azbox IP address with a telnet client
- Type the following command.
mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /MMP
rm -rf /PLUGINS
rm -rf /DISK2
rm -rf /MMP
sync
You will probably read some error messages, don't care about this.
- Power off your Azbox (switch off) (if you press the power key on the RCU the end menu will no longer appears
since we just delete it).
- Put the USB key that we prepare in pre-requisite in the Azbox USB slot.
- Power on your Azbox
On the upgrade screen select:
4 - Format application Area
Followed by:
1 - upgrade USB
Let the upgrade process run (DO NOT POWER OFF your Azbox during this process) and wait for the final countdown
and remove the USB key.
If you miss the final countdown at the Azbox reboot select 5 - Continue without upgrade.
Your Azbox is now brand new with a fresh firmware without any old stuff on it.
Then you will need to reconfigure all your Azbox like you first power it up.
